The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kind of girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no

It's not the things you do
That tease and wound me bad
But it's the way you do
The things you do to me
I'm not the kind of girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait right here 'til it's my turn
I'm not the kind of girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn
I'm not the kind of girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one, number one

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high, I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high, I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one, your number one

MARIA - 13/02/1999
1 week at #1 - 12 weeks on chart

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk
Cool as air
Oooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Oooh it makes you wanna die
Oooh don't you wanna take her
Wanna make her all your own

Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

I've seen this thing before
In my best friends and the boy next door
Fool for love and full of fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Don't you wanna make her
Oooh don't you wanna take her home

Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights
Oooh don't you wanna break her
Oooh don't you wanna take her home

She walks like she don't care
Walking on imported air
Oooh it makes you wanna die

Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
